EmpowHer Grants

• EmpowHer grants support women who need early-stage business capital, a network of business advisors, or both. Grantees will have access to financial, marketing, leadership, and sector professionals who can advise on business focus, next steps, and longer-range planning. As an entrepreneur, you’re not alone: our network is full of people who have been in your shoes.
• Boundless Futures Foundation empowers, embraces, and elevates female entrepreneurs through grants to new businesses and to likeminded nonprofits.

ELIGIBILITY:

• Female founders 22 years of age and older with businesses registered and operating in the United States. An applicant’s business must:
  • Make a clear social impact;
  • Be a registered for-profit entity;
  • Be earning revenue, and 
  • Not be more than five years old. 

  To be awarded grant funding, applicants must self-report a credit score and agree to a third-party background check. Please refer to the Boundless Futures Foundation website for more information.

  Businesses that are eligible for an EmpowHer grant address one of the following social issues through their product or business model:

  • Poverty, Hunger, or Humanitarian Aid
  • Sustainability & the Environment 

  We define ‘social issues’ as issues that impact society, and we refer to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as a useful tool for thinking about social issues. We believe that entrepreneurs have the potential to contribute powerfully to solutions to society’s issues through successful businesses.

  Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Grants are awarded in the spring and fall. This is a competitive review process; we receive more applications than the number of grants we award.
